teaching seminars

Wednesday, October 18, 6:30-8:00 pmRoom 307

The human being is a complex and holistic creature. Woven inextricably into our fabric is both the material and immaterial aspects of our being. Sometimes, material needs are easier to identify and address. For example, when my body feels tired, I need to sleep. When my stomach growls, I need food. When something hurts, I need____. But what does my soul need? My heart? My mind? How does that work? Very few of us know. Yet like our bodies, this immaterial part of us affects every aspect of our lives. Please come to this very important seminar as we explore the unseen side of humanity and seek answers to valuable questions like...How are we wired? How does the immaterial aspect of my being, my “heart,” thoughts and feelings impact, yeah control, the rest of me? How can I influence them for good? What is my role? What does God say? What does the Bible say?

See you on Wednesday night, October 18, in Room 307 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Sign up online.

The Weight of Glory - Lewis Seminar 1

Who was C.S. Lewis? War hero, Children’s Author, Oxford Don, Apologist, beer-drinking, pipe-smoking, British author. What does he have to teach us about God and ourselves? This class will provide an introduction to C.S. Lewis that should pave the way for many studies to come. It will also take a deeper dive into one of his works, “The Weight of Glory” by tying it back to the heartbeat of Christ. What was the first thing on Jesus’ lips when he prayed (John 17:1; Matt 6:9)? How did Christ feel this weight? How did Lewis feel it? How should we? View Sessions 1 Part 1, Session 1 Part 2 and Session 2.

evangelism 101 - how to share your faith

I know that the Bible tells me that I should share my faith but how? Is there a right way? Is there a wrong way? Is personal testimony always the best? Is there a memorable and easy method that works best? How can I go into an evangelistic encounter feeling confident and come away from it feeling encouraged that I did well? How do I know if it’s been a success? In addition to providing the building blocks for sharing your faith, this seminar will also provide practical and meaningful “How to’s.” View Sessions 1, 2 and 3 below.

Who are we? What does it mean to be human? What role does sexuality have in establishing our identity? What is marriage? Why marriage? Is there a clear, historical, consistent view of sexuality?

These questions and more are tackled in A Biblical View of Sexuality.
